The West Side Church of Christ, Scientist, occupied its beautiful little chapel at the corner of Eighty-second Street and the Western Boulevard, for the first time last Sunday. The chapel is fitted up in oak. The velvet curtains about the reading desks are of soft, tawny shades, and the reading desks and altar chairs are of handsome carved oak. The carpets match the curtains and only partially cover the polished floor. The chapel is light, bright, and airy, and with its symmetrical proportions and harmonious coloring is a very attractive place of worship.
The church has been organized but one year, and numbers about seventy-five persons. It had its beginning four years ago. when two women met for worship Sunday by Sunday. The group grew, and removed from time to time to larger quarters, and after its organization as a church last October, the meetings were held at 459 Western Boulevard. But these rooms became too small for the growing church, and the chapel, with ample accommodations for future growth, was built.
Services are to be held every Sunday morning at eleven o'clock On Friday evenings at eight o'clock testimonial meetings are to be held. The rear of the chapel is to be fitted up with chairs and tables and supplied with Christian Science reading matter. The rooms will be open from 10 A.M. to 1 p.m. daily, and members of the church will be in charge.—Commercial Advertiser, New York.
